Semesterly Allocations

The submissions for budgets will take place on a semesterly basis.

Student orgs under the Center for Social Concern (CSC) must provide proposals of their progress and accomplishments throughout the previous semester and propose a budget for the follow semester to accomplish future goals and service. ARC reviews the applications and approves the funding with support from the CSC staff.
